Our cycle hub in is pedaling us towards more sustainable deliveries in the city of Cambridge. It is a wheelie big step forward for UPS! Get it?😉
The problem we’re solving: eQuad deliveries are an efficient and sustainable way to navigate congested cities and zero-emission zones. That means we can deliver packages even in places where cars and trucks can’t go because eQuads – four-wheeled electric-assist cycles – allow the operator to use cycle lanes.
“As cities worldwide try to make transportation more sustainable with low-emission or zero-emission areas, we are deploying innovative last-mile solutions like the eQuad,” said Artur Drenk, sustainability director for UPS in Europe, Middle East, Africa and India. “This allows us to better serve our customers, adhere to evolving regulations and contribute to cleaner urban air in the communities we serve”
Our innovations in sustainability mean we can directly contribute to Cambridge’s Clean Air initiative – a citywide effort to cut down on emissions and promote more sustainable ways of delivering goods locally … with UPS at the front line.
What else we’re doing:
🚙 More than 18,300 UPS vehicles use an alternative fuel, like renewable natural gas … and new technology like our eQuads to serve customers around the world.
🌎 UPS and its connected operations count over 45 active urban logistics projects across over 40 European cities that use electric assist bikes to improve last-mile delivery, reduce CO2 emissions and alleviate congestion in densely populated areas. #Innovation
Creating purposeful change isn’t just something we talk about, it’s what we do. We make it our responsibility to put sustainability at the heart of how we do business.
